When to worry about new fish not eating

[Wesley Knutsen]

I just got 2 clowns that where from sea and reef last Thursday also. I got brine and they didn't like. I bought some small pellet and they gobbled it up.

What pellets did you use ?

Try Brine maybe as well

Smash some fresh garlic and soak it in some rodi water then add a drop on to some mysis

I bought 4 clownfish and they wouldn't eat either and come to find out they was sick and all died over the weekend I tried feeding everything

I'm on the same boat. Have two maroon clownfish that I bought two days ago. Both were in excellent condition. They have not eaten since I got them. Have tried frozen mysis and pellets. The gold stripe seems to be losing his slimy coat. Looks as he's shedding from one side and he mostly swims looking upwards. Breaths a little heavy as well. My other one swims and looks normal but hasn't eaten as well. I'll be following this post.

I was able to get them to eat some pellets. had to smash them because they were a little to big. going to try the garlic thing next time I feed them. at least they ate something so I feel better about it

Sweet. That's definitely a great sign.
